旅游地演化理论研究一直是地理学界关注的热点。在旅游地演化发展研究中,旅游地生命周期理论是旅游地演化研究的重要理论基石,随着旅游业的飞速发展,传统的生命周期理论日益显出不足并受到质疑。首先回顾了2002-2014年近14年的国内外关于旅游地演化理论及相关演化理论,并对其如何解释案例地发展演变的研究成果进行详细阐述,通过归纳旅游地生命周期理论、旅游地生命力理论、点-轴理论、系统动力学理论、社会网络理论以及耗散结构理论实证研究成果,并进一步总结出传统演化理论及相关旅游地演化理论在解释旅游地演变中的优势与不足,分析了国内外学者在传统旅游地演化理论基础上的补充、提升与创新;同时总结出经济地理学演化理论在旅游研究中的应用,最后展望经济地理学演化理论在旅游地研究内容、研究方法、研究尺度等方面的发展及今后需进一步深化研究的方向。
Tourism destination evolution theory research has always been the hot spot of geography academic attention.In the study of tourism destination evolution,Tourist Area Life Cycle is the most important theory.With the rapid development of tourism industry,the traditional life cycle theory increasingly shows insufficient and questioned.This paper reviews the nearly 14 years at home and abroad about the tourism destination evolution theory and the related evolution theory during 2002-2014 year,and describes those theories how to explain the tourism destination evolution study in detail,then sums up the advantages and disadvantages of traditional life cycle theory and related evolution theory to explain the tourism destination evolution by concluding the Researches of Tourist Area Life Cycle Theory,Tourist Destination Vitality Theory,The Pole- Axis Theory,System Dynamics Theory,Social Network Theory,Dissipative Structure Theory.The paper analyzes the domestic and foreign scholars how to supplement,prompt and innovate those theories on the basis of traditional tourism destination evolution theory;Meanwhile we summarized its application in tourism research.Finally,we look forward the development trend of Evolutionary Economic Geography Theory in the research contends,research methods,and other aspects of scale of tourism destination study and the direction to deepen the research in the future.
